I didn't get this either until I looked at the linked doc, which breaks it down more obviously imo (section 6.1 for examples). Looks interesting to me, seems nice to be able to han…

Thanks!

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. It's got me interested in trying this out for myself, do you happen to have / know of any other writing about workflows for setting up remot…

I'd say that knowledge (stored as weights) is acquired through experience (starting from a mostly blank start, weights are formed through exposure to training data). For me that's …

Conda has been a lifesaver for me in the past, but it got so slow in ~2019 (minutes+ to resolve dependencies) that I've switched back to pip whenever possible. Maybe things have be…

This is cool, but the high cost of using step functions ($0.025 per 1,000 state transitions) makes me pretty wary of using it for anything that doesn't really need the orchestratio…

Do 4xx responses count against your SLO? For me they don't, but an abnormal increase might still signify that something is actually wrong. (I haven't yet found a useful tool for hi…

I also like to chain functions in sequence like this, I use the toolz library to do it in Python. https://toolz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#toolz.functo... "I.e. pipe(data, f…

That link explains that this is just a protocol update not a security thing. (confusing word choice imo)

I think a python implementation of flow is in the toolz library as compose_left. I find myself often using the similar pipe function. - https://toolz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.h…
